Swag Bucks

When I first became a stay at home mom 3 1/2 years ago (the first time), I tried everything to save and/or earn some extra money.  We were cutting our budget by A LOT (see my series HERE on how we cut $13,000 out of our yearly budget to make me staying home a reality).  

I stumbled across Swag Bucks, and immediately loved it.  I still do it today, and I have earned tons of money in Amazon gift cards by only spending a couple minutes a day.  Recently I began making sure that I don't forget to earn a few Swag Bucks each day, as I'm using my Amazon gift cards that I earn to pay for Christmas this year.  With just a couple minutes most days, I can usually get between $10-15 in gift cards a month.  It's not a lot, but as a stay at home mom trying to make ends meet and do Christmas on a budget, it totally helps!

Here are the things I do each day for a couple "Swag Bucks" (SB):

Install the tool bar: gives you 1 SB every day when you open your browser

Daily Poll: Takes 10 seconds and gives you 1 SB

NOSO (No obligation special offers): Takes 20 seconds to skip past all the offers and get 2 SB

Search: Use their search engine for a quick search or two (5 seconds) and score between 5-15 SB on most days

SBTV (SwagBucks TV): I installed the app on my phone and it plays through videos (like trailers and such); every 5 videos it plays through I get 2 SB.  I just mute it and occasionally check on my phone to see if it's still going or if I got any texts or whatever.  This is the easiest way to get SB.

Coupons:  I just started using coupons more again lately as I'm trying to cut our budget a little more to add money to our savings account.  Instead of printing coupons from sites like coupons.com, print them directly from SwagBucks (same data base of coupons-it's hosted by coupons.com) and earn 10 SB for every coupon redeemed.  These add up REALLY quickly!

I redeem 450 points for a $5 Amazon gift card.  My husband also has a Swag Bucks account and earns SB and free gift cards, too.  It's something small, but you can really earn quite a bit if you just remember to do a few things each day.
